And I haven't been able to find a Bombardier press release saying that Q200/300 production actually has ceased, although there were some reports from 2008 that said production would cease in May 2009.
I guess the better question would be, how big of an order would it take to fire up the production line for the Q200 and Q300? I think it's a bit like the XR for Embraer, theoretically they are still for sale, but I wonder how many birds would have to be ordered for them to fire up the old production line?

BTW, how did you get a copy of the B&CA Handbook? Do you have a subscription? Just curious, it sounds like good stuff.
